  • "Reprise au format poche de ce best-seller de 1956 qui a eu plusieurs suites et a été exploité tant par le cinéma que par la télévision. Chronique d'une petite ville de province qu'irriguent les passions, les réactions et les rumeurs autour de certains personnages solidement campés."
  • "In the small New England town of Peyton Place secrets are preserved for a lifetime, and skeletons are kept firmly in the closet. But the secrets of the town begin to unravel slowly one sunny afternoon when sixteen-year-old Selena Cross visits Dr. Matthew Swain to confirm an unwanted pregnancy. Across town, Selena's employer, Constance MacKenzie models a high, yet hypocritical, moral standard for her secretly illegitimate daughter, Allison, until she falls in love with Tomas Makris and can no longer deny her own physical desire. Dreaming of literary greatness and deeply hurt by her mother's betrayal, Allison moves to New York, where she receives both a literary and a sexual education at the hands of Brad Holmes, her literary agent."@en

  • "Úspěšný román, prvotina mladé americké autorky, líčí dnešní život poklidného amerického městečka. Na mnoha realisticky zachycených životních příbězích příslušníků starší i dospívající generace ukazuje skutečnou tvář amerického maloměšťáka, bezohlednost dolarového shonu, mravní narušenost, sexuální nevázanost a pokrytectví celé společnosti."
  • "This soap-like tale exposes the shocking secrets of 1950s smalltown America. In the mythical New England town of Peyton Place the curtains twitch as the lives of the town's main families come to light. The town, named after Martin Peyton, is still heavily influenced by the actions of him and his family, the Harringtons. Amongst those most affected are the Mackenzies: Constance and her daughter Allison, the illegitimate result of an affair kept secret by Constance, and the Cross family: Selena and Joey who share a shack with their deranged mother and abusive step-father. The idyll of the town shatters as murder, violence and scandal unfold."

  • "Considered scandalous when first published, this story is now a modern classic. Peyton Place has sold over 10,000,000 copies worldwide and remains the fourth bestselling novel of all time."
